Which of the following conditions during infection with a paramyxovirus causes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase to switch from start-stop transcription to production of full-length positive-strand antigenomes?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The switch from start-stop transcription to the production of full-length positive-strand antigenomes in paramyxovirus infections is influenced by the concentration of the nucleocapsid protein (N protein). When the N protein is abundant, it encapsidates the newly synthesized antigenome, promoting its synthesis over the shorter mRNAs.
